We’re thrilled to share the release of a new report from Lyons Assessment Consulting and Foresight Law + Policy, PLLC entitled, “Additional Examples of Evidence for Peer Review: Recommendations for Supporting Innovative State Assessment Systems.”
The purpose of this report is to encourage innovation in state assessment by providing recommendations on revisions to the peer review guidance that address the unique evidentiary considerations for assessment models that depart from the status quo.
The expert-backed recommendations in this report are designed to:
▶︎ Give confidence to states that the peer review process is flexible and can accommodate variations in assessment models
▶︎ Improve the quality of state submissions by expanding on the types of evidence that would be appropriate to submit, particularly in cases where the existing examples of evidence in the peer review process may not directly apply
▶︎ Signal to peer reviewers that there are often many different legitimate ways to provide evidence in support of the critical elements, especially in the context of innovative models
